My Canon 300D camera has started coming up with the Err 02 message.

It will read a couple of cards one consitantly (Fugifilm Ultrafast 256MB) another after putting in and out a few times (Kingston 256MB). It will not accept a new Sandisk Ultra II 1GB, a Canon 32MB (formated on a Canon G5), or a new Fugifilm 20x 512MB. All the above cards can be read by the Canon G5 and a card Reader attached to a PC. Have tried formatting the cards on a PC -but that does not work, and because of the error message I cannot fomat thne cards in the Camera

David,

I see you posted in the similar thread here. Did you take a look at the pins in the memory card slot as Mel in that thread indicated? Could be an easy fix to your problem, even if it is a longshot.

If the problem is something else, it's likely going to require service, and since the camera is no doubt out of the warranty period at this point, that probably means a hefty repair bill. Nevertheless, if you can't find any other solution you should give it a shot and see what Canon says. Check here if you decide to go that route.

Good luck, and I hope you find an easier solution!

I just wanted to second the bent pin idea. It happens more often than many people realize. Typically the 02 error means a problem with the card, not with the camera, but the fact that you've tried a few different cards makes me think that's not what's going on here. Look very carefully inside the slot for any bent pins; a camera shop might even help you straighten them if it's not something you want to attempt yourself.
